HUT polish alternative

[MPVic]

Sadly I cannot get HUT plastic polish in Canada anymore & it appears even US sources are not available.
Has anyone had any success with Penn State Industries ONESTEP One-Step Plastic Polish?

Thanks.

Here in the US, Woodcraft carries it - link - HUT

I was in a Woodcraft yesterday in Pennsylvania and they had it on the shelf.

Others can chime in here but have heard of auto polishes used to enhance pen finishes.

You can try Magic Juice. William Woodwrite carries it. It's a little pricey and 6 steps, but the shine is uncomparable.

True- I use an auto polishing compound made by Rupes. It comes in course and fine, as well as a few other grades, but I just use the course and fine. Amazon sells it or you can buy it at local auto paint suppliers. Works very well.

Other choice is Novus - also comes in a variety of grits. I like this a lot but it tends to have a tendency to leave white film behind more than the Rupes.

I used HUT on my CA finish and acrylic pens for a long time, and couldn't find it when I got back into turning about a year and a half ago. Ended up picking up Novus 2, and as near as I can tell it works identically.

I have found Magic Juice from Stadium Pen Blanks to be the best resin polish available.
